Ramadan 2027 times in Glasgow from imsak to iftar
In Glasgow, the timetable for the first day of Ramadan, expected on Monday 8 February 2027, gives imsak at 05:41 and iftar at 17:05, a fast of 11 hours 24 minutes. By day 15, on Monday 22 February, imsak has moved to 05:13 and iftar to 17:36, so the fast lasts 12 hours 23 minutes. On day 29, Monday 8 March, imsak is at 04:38 and iftar at 18:06, for 13 hours 28 minutes.
What the Glasgow timetable shows from imsak to isha and how it compares with London
The timetable also lists fajr, sunrise and isha: on day 1 fajr is at 05:51, sunrise at 07:58 and isha at 19:05, while on day 29 isha has moved to 20:02. Compared with London, iftar in Glasgow on day 1 comes 3 minutes later than in London, at 17:05 against 17:02. On day 29 it comes 13 minutes later than in London, at 18:06 against 17:53.
Over the month the fast in Glasgow grows by 124 minutes between day 1 and day 29: imsak comes 63 minutes earlier and iftar 61 minutes later. The change is steady rather than sudden, so you will feel the days lengthen week by week as the Glasgow sunset moves from 17:05 toward 18:06. Sunrise follows the same rhythm, shifting from 07:58 on day 1 to 07:26 on day 15 and 06:51 on day 29, while isha moves from 19:05 to 19:33 and then 20:02, which also pushes tarawih later into the evening.
Why the Glasgow mosque calendar matters
The calculation behind Glasgow's figures is the Muslim World League method, which puts fajr at 18 degrees and isha at 17 degrees and sets imsak ten minutes ahead of fajr. A Glasgow mosque may prefer different angles, or add a few minutes of caution of its own. Glasgow's mosques serve a large, varied Muslim community, so it is normal for neighbours to follow slightly different calendars. Pick one mosque and follow its timetable for the whole month. Expect the month to open on Monday 8 February 2027, though that remains a forecast until the crescent has been looked for.
Ramadan in Glasgow: weather, daily life and iftar
Glasgow stands on the River Clyde in the west of Scotland, where the Atlantic keeps winters milder than on the east coast but rarely dry. In February and early March expect cloud, drizzle and a raw wind along the river, with sunrise as late as 07:58 on the first morning. Students at the University of Glasgow and Strathclyde, and workers in the city centre offices, will notice daylight stretching quickly as the weeks pass.
Daily life and iftar in Glasgow
Much of daily life in the city happens indoors in winter, in tenement flats, university libraries and the shopping streets around Buchanan Street. Families in the Southside and the West End often gather for iftar at home, sharing dates, soup and rice before the evening prayer. After the meal, many people walk to a nearby mosque for isha and tarawih, wrapped against the damp Scottish cold.
Iftar is simple and warming here: dates and water first, then lentil soup or a hot stew suited to a Glasgow February. Because the Clyde valley can be icy at night, hosts tend to prepare hot drinks and keep the heating on for guests. Tarawih is expected to start on the Sunday evening, 7 February, with the 27th night falling on Friday 5 March after sunset.
Practical advice for fasting in Glasgow
Glasgow's short, wet winter days make planning matter: carry a waterproof layer, because the walk home at sunset is usually in the rain, and keep a bottle of water beside the bed for the early start at 04:38 by the end of the month. Rest counts for as much as the meal itself, so aim for bed soon after the night prayer. On day 15 the fast in Glasgow lasts 12 hours 23 minutes, which is long enough to reward some planning of meals and appointments. Eid al-Fitr would come on Tuesday 9 March 2027 after a 29-day month, or on Wednesday 10 March after a 30-day one.
- Pack a waterproof jacket for the evening walk to the mosque.
- Plan Southside or West End meals so travel does not delay iftar.
- Drink water steadily between iftar and the pre-dawn meal.
- Check the local mosque calendar once and stick to it.
Which Ramadan 2027 calendar should I follow in Glasgow?
Which Ramadan calendar should I follow in Glasgow? Choose the calendar of the mosque you attend or the one your relatives rely on, and keep to it from the first fast to the last. The calculated timetable gives imsak at 05:41 and iftar at 17:05 on day 1, but a mosque may announce the start a day later after the crescent is sighted, and all its times would then shift with it.

Is Eid a day off, and how do I manage work or school in Glasgow?
Is Eid a day off, and how do I manage work or study in Glasgow? In Glasgow, offices and universities run normal hours throughout Ramadan, so ask a manager early about a later lunch or a shorter break to leave on time for iftar. Eid is not a bank holiday in Scotland, so request leave for the morning of Eid in advance if you want to attend the prayer. Friday 5 March is when the 27th night is expected to begin, so book the evening in advance and be ready for longer prayers and shorter sleep through the final ten nights.
